Vasanthi, you look radiant in your wedding photo! Craig looks so happy, too. Wishing many blessings on your marriage! You're sweet to share a glimpse into your very special day.

She had her baby last night so I'm on my way today to go see her new little one. 

Vasanthi, Again CONGRATULATIONS! 

I went this weekend and helped my daughter dress up her balcony.  It was nice spending the day with her. 

Every year about this time knowing I love to garden Michael would call me and tell me "Go get your flowers Mom".  For Mother's Day he would allow me to get all the flowers and plants I wanted from the garden center. Buying flowers has become so hard.

Teresa D - giving to others is never a bad thing. Always follow your heart. You are obviously a very giving person and have helped and touched many hearts. I believe that by helping and giving others it helps to heal us all. Even your daughter - she just doesn't realize it yet. You go girl!

I use to run a youth group for troubled teens.  Some of the kids, now adults, have stayed connected to me.  One of them lost a baby during birth and reached out to me immediately.  She is pregnant again and right now my car is full of baby stuff. My daughter says I need to stop treating everybodies baby as if it is mine.  I say who am I hurting. 

She realized not only do I buy gifts for every bodies kids but I am doing it on the street and in the stores too.  As soon as I see a little boy I want to buy him something.  She says I need to stop and again I say who am I hurting. 

Didn't even realize I was doing it.

Thank you for expressing your thoughts Teresa about comments that can make parents who have lost children feel uncomfortable. Only those who have gone through this type of loss can understand the devastation that follows.

Have a wonderful day tomorrow Vasanthi. I know your son will be next to you during the ceremony and the reception. I hope the sun shines brightly for you. Dolly, I am sending hugs to you, some days are unbearable, but your sons smile lights up the sky. I try to tire myself out everyday so I can sleep some at night. On Monday we fly to LA to visit my step-son and his family. There are so many birthdays to get through this month. Just want to stroke my daughters cheek and hold her hand. She has the most beautiful skin, when I walk past her pictures I can't help but touch her face and kiss her. At least I can work out in my gardens again. I was able to pick up two clients who want me to take care of their gardens. I hope it will distract me when I get in a funk. Love to all here.

thank you Connie... it helps to have you to talk to... because YOU know what I mean ... sadly... wish we DIDN'T know

So sorry for your pain Dolly - I am holding you close in my heart. He is still with you but I know that doesn't help the physical loneliness. What a beautiful smile!

Vasanthi, Congratulations to you and the mister!  Have a beautiful day!

Dennis I just have no clue what your trying to share.  But if I remember correctly you haven't lost a child and so I think not to offend any of us maybe you should choose another room to go to.  Because just like before we are not relating to your messages and that is because our experiences are not the same.  I don't mean to offend you but I also don't want to see my supporters become offended. 

Merry, that comment is ridiculous.  Sorry you had to hear it.  I just think people don't realize how their comments hurt.  We get mad but then have to remind ourselves they have NO CLUE and we wouldn't want them to go through what we have been through to get it.

Sending hugs to all.  Today is a beautiful day here on the east coast.  I'm going to try and enjoy it without feeling guilty.  Every time I find myself enjoying something or smiling the tears begin to roll. It's like I feel guilty for enjoying it without Michael.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
